Translation to:enhrnl

Casta Diva

Casta Diva, che inargentiqueste sacre antiche piante,a noi volgi il bel sembiantesenza nube e senza velTempra, o Diva,tempra tu de’ cori ardentitempra ancora lo zelo audace,spargi in terra quella paceche regnar tu fai nel cielFine al ritoe il sacro boscosia disgombro dai profani.quando il Nume irato e fosco,chiegga il sangue dei Romani.Dal Druidico delubroLa mia voce tuonerà.Cadrà; punirlo io posso.Ma, punirlo, il cor non sa.Ah! bello a me ritornaDel fido amor primiero;E contro il mondo intierodifesa a te sarò.Ah! bello a me ritornaDel raggio tuo sereno,e vita nel tuo seno,e patria e cielo avrò.Ah, riedi ancora qual eri allora,quando il cor ti diedi allora,ah, riedi a me.

Virtuous Goddess

Virtuous Goddess, covering with silverthese sacred ancient plants,turn towards us your fair facecloudless and unveiledTemper, oh Goddess,you temper the ardent heartsfurthermore temper the audacious zeal,spread on earth the same peacethat make you make reign in heavenComplete the riteand the sacred forestshould be cleansed of the profanewhen the Spirit irate and gloomy,will ask for the blood of the Romans.From the Druidic templemy voice will thunder.He'll fall; I can punish him.But my heart doesn't know to punish.Ah! Come back to me beautifulto your loyal first love;and against the whole worldI shall protect you.Ah! Come back to me beautifulalong with your serene radianceand life in your womb,and I'll have homeland and sky.Ah, come back again as you were then,then when I gave you my heart,Ah, come back to me.
